Beginnings


Today was the first day of seeding for Whisper Hill Farm. We don't have our greenhouse up yet, but we are starting some herbs and flowers on a heat mat in our basement. We are hoping to have our greenhouse (arriving Monday..yeah) up by the time they all germinate. We are starting them in open flats, where we seed in rows and then "spot" them out about 4-8 weeks from now. Spotting is basically pulling them apart and then planting a seedling in its own cell. Then they will go out in the field about 3 months from now. It's a good feeling to finally start planting-and looking forward to the harvesting.
